Anyone else feel this way?

I had been hoping to go touring at some point. And there was a thread going where some said the pounds just dropped off. I was thinking if I do lose weight, then I'll just add extra to my bike, so I don't lose the conditioning of the "weight bellt" I carry now.

I could to quite a tour with a 100 pound load!

(Unfortunately, I haven't kept a consistent schedule, and with the heat, I don't want to ride later than about 10 AM.

Hi Everyone!

Well, I have an appointment with a pulmonologist on August 29th. So far, I've been breathing easier with the addition of my Spiriva Handihaler.

I got my results back regarding my chest x-ray today. My lungs are clear (which is great), but it showed that I have a compression fracture lower thoracic spine.

I have an appt. with my internist on 8/9 to discuss this, and in the meantime, they will schedule me for a bone density study.

Weird, but I have been having some nagging back pain which I was thinking was perhaps a muscle spasm........

I really don't think that I have osteoporsis - I'd be very surprised.
I drink skim milk, eat yogurt (both regular & frozen), and enjoy low-fat cheese. And, I eat calcium rich leafy greens.

I'll have to wait & see.

Have a peaceful evening!

Denise
